The only disadvantages I see to seperates is maybe the extra cost of the unit, extra cables and maybe a extra shelf on the rack.Other than that its all better. There is less on one chassis, less heat, less interferance, if something goes its easie...

If you are handy and can DIY, buy some bulk Belden 89207 and it will blow away the AQ at a fraction of the cost.

Well, I have about 60 hours on my Chardonnay now, and a couple nights ago it started sounding SUPER dynamic, real edgegy and hard.I played with the gain controls for a while but they didn't help.So I just turn it off and when to bed. I didn't want...

Its coming by DHL. Mick didn't ask for my ss# and I didn't give it. I hope it doesn't get stuck.Did he send you a tracking #, I asked him to send me one but I have not got it yet.
